Francis' Victoire Véloce 953 Disc

The project

Francis was looking for a performant and comfortable road bike, for both cycling club rides and bikepacking randonnées. He went for our Véloce model.

We made his tailor-made bicyle with Reynolds 953 stainless steel tubing. We use references with a round shape for more comfort. In the same way, the bottom bracket is a BSC one. For more stiffness with disc brakes, we put thru-axles. We use Syntace stainless dropouts from Paragon we a very clean aesthetic to fit a Flatmount .

The finish

Francis payed a lot of attention to the style of his bespoke bike. He wanted a classic geometry, with no sloping, and a metallic paint that matches the Chris King parts. The result was up to his expectations :

This grey-green color matches perfectly the Mango of Chris King parts. The result is really modern and elegant, and it gives impression of a fast bike !

He also put his personal touch with the Latin words Sursum Corda on the top tube.
